Ingenious French swindlers.

An amusing story was told recently
OF a couple of ingenious swindlers whose
career was nipped in the bud by a mat
ter-ot-fact policeman, who uIust be
painfully devoid of the sense Of humor.
One Of this pair Of rascals jumped into
tho Seine and pretended to be drowning;
the other took:a header after ,himr, and
brought him to shore in safety. a SYM
pathetic crowd gathered around the
would-be suicide, and moved by his
pitcous story, his savior emptiey his
dripping pockets of their silver. The
crowd sighed and wept to see such
goodness, and when the hat was sent
round quite u nice little sum was
gathered. Unfortunately for themselves
the two men were followed by an official
of the law, who found that it was q
put-up-job, and ran them in.4 The
trick is ingenious, but it has not the
merit OF novelty. Every one in tho
sporting world remembers how Il similar
:plant"lwas arranged by two famous
swimmers--the Johnson brothers--ono
Of whom fell off London bridge to DO
rescued by his lame brother, who
Glanced to be on q passenger steamer
In the guiso of q palson OF tho church
of England. Their trick was done for.
a lark-and an advertisement which
they got and thoroughly deserved for
their pains and pluck.

The Story ofn4PebDle,y

n u ~
sir.Francis Doyle tells Interesting
story aboutia pebble, which Isthink you
will like,to, hear. d Mrs: Brooke, 4. ne
lation Of Ifs, lived III a house On the
banks 3of beautiful Locli Earn in,
Perthshire. AS pearls, more or. less
valuable, were often found there, Mrs.
Brooke began collecting them, and the
Villagers children usedlto take to her
those which they picked up, receiving
a shilling or two in exchange. One
day, little girl, who had come from
some considerable distance, called and
offered her a pebble, but us Mrs.
Brooke thought it useless, she refused
to buy it. Presently her brother asked
er.to change herr mind, for, lie s;,ld,i
the lassie had had itsta yerylslong walk.
and was crying bitterly at having to 60
home empty-handed."
( So Mrs. Brooke kindly told him to
take the stone, and give the BARN what
she wanted1or 1t. A few weeks later,
a friend, who'had travelled much, and.
knew South America well, viewed the
pebble with great interest, and at
length remarked that if he had been
in Brazil and had seen the stone there
he would have felt. sure that it was q
diamond. The stone was at once sent
toa skilled jeweller, and he reported
that the travellers opinion was right,
and very soon the Loch Earn pebble
was. set in one Of Mrs. Brooke's dia-
Imond rings. Unfortunately, no trace
could be found Of the little girl, and so
she was not able to share the further
reward that would liavo been bestowed
upon her success.

Turkish Imperial Palaces.

The Sultans have always been fond

the number and cxtcntsof these .nonu-
mental edifces, which only seem to
exist for the purpose of furnishing oc-
.cupation to " host OF lazy carctakcrs.
They own their origin to a. passing
'whim, another passing whim and
they are deserted. These kiosks
extend all along tho Bosphorus,
and turn where you will in the suburbs
of the capital imperial mansions meet
yonr, gazo which have never beon
tenanted3an probably never will be, as
each sultan builds his own residence.
sIn every town OF the empire there arc
imperial kiosks which seem to have
been erected for no other purpose than
TO fall into decay. And for these cree
.tionslmarble quarries had to bo dug out
and whole 4cargoes of valuable wood
carvings, Venetian lustres, Roman and
4 '.lFlorentine mosiacs brought to land.l
For the enormous sums thus wasted

beenfdiained, canals dug and civiliza-
tion advanced a considerable STAGE.

Balcony and veranda Gardening.

Balcony and veranda gardening diff
fer from window gardening proper, in
being carried on in the open air, while
the window garden is upon the inside
of the window. Ono sees in our own
cities, very little attention given to
balcony gardening, rs compared with
European cities, especially London and
Paris, where tho houses are generally
built with stout balconies projecting
from the windows, as il to encourage
gardening in them, and one cannot go
far, whether in the streets of costly resi-
dences, or in those Of the humber and
poorer people, without meeting; With
;iine examples of balcony gardening
which indicate u love for plants and
flowers on the part OF those who dwell
within, such as scarlet geraniums, etc.
Veranda gardening affords one more
space, and n wider scope for the exer-
else Of gardening skill than the balcony.
The veranda, if it extends across the
front Of the house, and the front door
is entered from it, affords room for
much tasteful arrangement Of plants.
Vines and climbers OF hardy kinds,
planted in the border outside, may DO
trained up the pillars, or upon wires,
but not in such profusion rs TO make
too much shade for the plants on the
veranda. Most Of the finest Fuchsas
arc summer blooming, and arc especially
suited Tor tho veranda. These plants
are best seen from beneath, and if they
can DC set where one ascending the steps
can look up at them, the effect will be
most pleasing, Another set Of the most
brilliant summer blooming plants are
The Cactuses, especially of the genus
Cercus, such rs the old @. speciosisSi-
mas and its varieties, which produce,
with little trouble, the largest flowers
OF dazzling brilliancy. The more ample
room Of the yeranda allows Of the use
Of much larger plants than can lie ac-
commodated on the balcony, and
Palms, Dracenas, and other large speci-
mems may be grown there. The Olean-
ders { (Neriune,) though old-fashioned,
arc fine summcr-blooming shrubs, state
ly, with fine foliage, ,and with flowers
varying from white to deep rose color.
They are excellent plants for the vcran-
da. Shrubs that arc not quite hardy,
such as the European Holly, especially
the varlegated kinds, are fine decorative
plants, az are small Conifers.

But IL you CHOOSE to hear me tell,
Pray listen while I fix the date.
When daughters haste with eager foot,

And not as army soldiers scan

Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses
And live as they were wont to live

Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,

ana their neighbors would carry their
chairs out upon the balcony, and there
they would sit and gossip. On these
occasions it was Arthur who was the
wit and attraction of the party. You
might almost have fancied him to be
one Of those model workingmen who
spend their evenings t,in lecture halls.
He would speak in a sweet and well
modulated tone, and, pro6ting by cur
rent IDEAS, would advocate the rights Of
labor and denounce the tyranny of caps
ital. His wife, weak from the blows
OF the preceding night, would glance at
him with evident admiration, nor was
she alone in this. ,"What il dear Ar

In spite Of all this, however, Arthur,
